Five great races to choose from at the festival. The popular 3HR, 6HR, and 6HR Team Relay races use the 10K loop. These beautiful trails are mostly single track with some rocks and roots. The 10K loop has 850' of gain; the 5K has 450' of elevation gain! Join us to race our challenging 5K or 10K races!
New this year, we will have some fun free kids events and races with prizes and giveaways! Fun for the whole family!! Stay tuned for more details.
We provide two aid stations. The main aid station will be near the start/finish line and have food and drinks. The second aid station will be a water table at the halfway point of the 10K course. There will also be water at the halfway point of the 5K course. Personal pit stations can be set up for the 3HR and 6HR participants and are easily accessible along the course adjacent to the start/finish.

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
